1936 Map of Block

About this map

Turley and the surrounding coal-country settlements of Hickey and Block occupy a narrow corridor of industrial development in this 1930s Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS collaboration. The landscape is defined by the steep slopes of Fork Mountain and Caryville Mountain, where the extractive economy of Campbell County is clearly visible through numerous inclines descending the ridges. The Southern railroad provides the primary artery for these mountain communities, running parallel to State Highway No. 63. A transition in the local industry is marked by a Mine (Abandoned) located south of Wheeler Gap, while the emerging modern infrastructure is represented by the Tepco Trans Line. This survey serves as a precise record of Tennessee's ridge-and-valley terrain before mid-century changes, documenting several elevation benchmarks and specific tract boundaries like T Tr 126 E.
